Advice

I felt an urge today to write a post that was plain and simply put a “no b*llshit” blog post. I love my think pieces and I also love writing up my more fluffy posts about how life is or things that make me feel my best, but I felt drawn to writing something factual, practical and to-the-point.

Coming up with a topic was easy: it’s “that time of year”, and by “that”, I mean for uni students, it’s most likely exam period and if you just so happen to be in your final year of uni, there’s probably a lot of chatter around graduate jobs. I see it all over my Twitter and Instagram even though uni is quite long gone for me now (I’ll officially have been a graduate of two years this July *shudders*).

I was lucky enough that I was able to enter my third year of university with a job in the bag (and I put a lot of emphasis here on the “luck”), but looking back in hindsight, going through the processes and watching others go through it too, I’ve come up with my own opinions for how to step on to that journey to getting a grad job…

Blogging is not quite as simple as it may look from the outside looking in. I guess looking objectively, it might seem as easy as – i) come up with an idea for a blog post, ii) type it up, iii) hit publish and hey presto. Perhaps iv) the occasional Instagram upload with an unrelated caption. Maybe. That said, there are, without a doubt, a few behind-the-scenes nuggets required for everything to slot together before that “publish” button can even be hit.
